McDaid, 42, and the actress, 55, have been dating since 2013 and enjoyed a vacation together in Ireland in late May.
Snow Patrol announced via Facebook on Tuesday that they were pulling out of the Glastonbury Festival.
Lead singer Gary Lightbody wrote: 'Our dear brother, piano and guitar player Johnny McDaid has a serious problem with his neck and after consulting with some top neurosurgeons they are all in agreement that the only course of action is immediate surgery.'
He went on: 'We are all of course worried about our brother Johnny. He is a force of nature and a giant light in our lives on stage and off and we of course will give him all the time and support he needs to recover.'
